Review of Sorority Row (2009) by Halfwelshman — 14 Apr 2012

Sorority Row quite astoundingly manages to pull off insulting men and women in equal measure. As a film it's morally bereft, utterly shallow, dumb, predictable, badly acted and really quite boring to boot.

It doesn't really work on any level, not as a horror, comedy or even as a distraction for randy teenagers (it would have to at least be a little bit sexy to satisfy the latter, and it just isn't). I honestly found myself chewing through my own hand in order to summon the willpower to make it through to the end of this dire movie.

It's complete durge, and what's even worse is that the film's conclusion leaves open the possibility of something utterly terrifying - a sequel. The only redeeming feature of the whole thing is Carrie Fisher, who is stupendously entertaining when she is briefly on screen as the stern but maternal, shotgun-wielding sorority mother.

Thank you Miss Fisher, you at least made your scenes bearable through sheer ballsiness.
